ATF is committed to reducing violent crime in our neighborhoods. ATF’s Kansas City Field Division special agents combat firearms violence by focusing their investigative efforts on armed violent offenders, career criminals, gun traffickers, violent gangs, and other criminal organizations. We also work in partnership with other state and local law enforcement throughout the field division to accomplish this mission.

ATF also has the duty of regulating the firearms and explosives industries. Our ATF Industry Operations Investigators work to ensure that all firearms and explosives are stored, and handled in a safe manner as mandated by federal, state, and local laws.

We encourage all residents to get involved and assist us in our goal of reducing crime in our communities. If community members have information regarding any violent criminal activity in this region, do not hesitate to contact the Kansas City Field Division at (816) 559-0700.
